  Hello! Great question! Finding a productive workflow as a recruiter can be challenging but incredibly rewarding once you nail it down. Here’s how I typically break up my day:

  Morning (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM)

  • 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM: Start my day by reviewing emails and messages. I respond to any urgent inquiries and prioritize my tasks for the day.
  • 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM: Daily stand-up or team meeting (if applicable). I like to check in with the team to align on our goals and share any updates.
  • 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Sourcing candidates. I dedicate this block to actively searching for potential candidates on LinkedIn, job boards, or using sourcing tools.

  Lunch (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM)

  • Take a proper break! It’s essential to recharge.

  Afternoon (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)

  • 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM: Candidate outreach. I spend this time contacting candidates I’ve found in the morning and scheduling interviews.
  • 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM: Conducting interviews. I usually carve out time in the afternoon for interviews, as I’m more awake and focused.
  • 3:30 PM – 4:00 PM: Follow-up calls or emails to candidates who interviewed previously. I also update the team or hiring managers about candidates’ statuses.
  • 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Administrative tasks. I use this time for anything that requires less intensive focus—updating records, responding to non-urgent emails, and reviewing candidate feedback.

  Tips to Remember:
  – Be flexible! Sometimes, unexpected tasks come up, especially in recruitment.
  – Adjust your schedule based on peak productivity times. If you’re more focused in the mornings or evenings, consider shifting tasks accordingly.
  – Make sure to include breaks! Even a few minutes can help with overall productivity.

  Hope this helps! Would love to hear how others structure their days too!
